Mc Donald's at Santa Clara Avenue Project Historic Built Environment Assessment As a subconsultant to Psomas, South Environmental will prepare a Historic Built Environment Assessment understanding that buildings located at 2101 East Santa Clara and 2109 East Santa Ana Avenue are more than 45 years old. Property Survey. The exterior portions of all accessible existing built environment within the Project site will be surveyed by a qualified architectural historian, and detailed notes and photographs of all buildings and structures will be taken. It is assumed the survey will take no more than one day to complete and that safe access to the exterior of both properties will be provided. Property Evaluation. South Environmental will complete a historic significance evaluation for the two properties, identified as 2101 East Santa Clara Avenue and 2109 East Santa Ana Avenue, in consideration of California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) and City of Santa Ana designation criteria to determine if the properties are considered historical resources for the purposes of CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5. This may include accessing local libraries and archives and contacting relevant historical societies. South Environmental will also review all available building permits and construction documents to determine the nature and extent of alterations made to the properties over time. The properties will be evaluated on the required State of California Department of Parks and Recreation Series 523 Forms (DPR forms). South Environmental will prepare a report that will address potential Project -related impacts under CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5. The report will summarize the results of the survey, the property significance evaluations, and the Project's potential to impact historical resources under CEQA. All DPR forms will be included as an appendix to the report. TASK 3 INITIAL STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION Subtask 3.1 Administrative Draft Initial Studv/Mitigated Negative Declaration Psomas will prepare an Administrative Draft IS/MND using the CEQA Environmental Checklist Form (Appendix G). In compliance with Section 15063 of the State CEQA Guidelines, the IS/MND will contain the location of the Project site; a discussion of the environmental setting; a description of the Project; identification of the Project's potential environmental effects; and a discussion of any required mitigation. The discussion of the environmental setting will be based on a review of existing information, including the General Plan EIR; technical studies provided by the Applicant and analyses prepared by Psomas; review of aerial photographs; and a site visit. The environmental analysis will include an explanation for all checklist responses to provide an understanding of how the IS/MND conclusions were reached. Project -specific mitigation will be developed for impacts that are determinedto be potentially significant. The following discussion describes the work effort to be undertaken to assess potential environmental impacts of the Project relative to each topical issue. Aesthetics. The discussion in the IS/MND will assess the potential visual changes in comparison with the existing views of the site. The site is currently developed with two single-family residences and detached garages and associated improvements. Photographs of the site will be taken from different vantage points and incorporated into the discussion and analysis, but preparation of a visual simulation study is not included in this SOW. "Public views" of the site from the roadways will be analyzed, as required by the IS checklist question. If significant impacts are identified, in discussion with the City, Psomas will propose appropriate mitigation measures. The potential impacts emanating from the changed light and glare associated with the proposed residential development will also be analyzed in the IS/MND.
